Poly tanks seldom get holes
What happens is they crack, usually in the side
One senario
Some body sticks the water hose in the fill spout and walks away
Comes back later water pourng out of fill spout
Tank gets over pressurized and cracks
Some people have sealed the crack with eternabond tape
And before someone says that won't work, they do advertise it for sealing fish ponds and pools
And yes those are usually done on the bottom of the pond/pool
So it's internal pressure helping to hold the tape in place
Klutz, drilled thru the outer bulkhead and drill 3, 1/4" holes near the bottom of the tank.
They now have plugs in them. I want a permanent repair. or it gets a new tank. but the pipe connections are glued in with something. What,,, is the question.
Why not use the Sending unit Well Nuts I mentioned??????? They work and seal good enough for millions of RV's over the past 40 years. Doug
